“ TIMELESS storytelling for the modern ROMANTICS ”


SPECIALISING IN STORYTELLING IMAGERY REFLECTING YOUR UNIQUE STORY

There’s something truly special about capturing genuine emotion and real connection.

My approach to photography is all about the experience—telling the story of your wedding day in a way that feels as natural and unique as you are.

ROMEA WHAREHOKA

I started photography around 14 years ago, second shooting weddings alongside my mum. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of capturing everything from families and newborns to full wedding days. My style is natural, warm, and romantic—with a focus on real, candid moments. I care deeply about making my clients feel comfortable and relaxed, because that’s when the most genuine images are captured.
 I’m also a proud mum to two boys, Ezra and Kairo, who inspire me every day. My husband is my second shooter, and together we make sure your day is captured with thoughtfulness, detail, and care from every angle. What I love most about this work is the connection. Getting to know my clients and telling their stories through emotion-filled images is something I never take for granted.

  • “Romea went above and beyond in every way, and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. She truly is a photographer who cares deeply about her couples and their love stories. If you're considering her—do it! You won’t be disappointed”
